Charlotte, North Carolina in Top 3 Percent of US Metros for Energy Jobs

It’s no small secret that Charlotte, North Carolina has been a strong contender for energy jobs. However, that momentum has increased significantly over the last few years. The 16-county Charlotte region counts more than 200 organizations and more than 20,000 employees performing the important daily work of the energy industry.  So much so, that it is now considered America’s new energy capital.

A Lean, Green Workforce

This continued spawning of green, clean Charlotte companies and the vocations they offer is one of the main attractions for buyers of new homes in Charlotte. Combined with fantastic schools and universities offering learning opportunities and degrees in energy efficiency and sustainability, Charlotte’s work force has been identified as a major competitive advantage, and the influx of young energy leaders with diverse experiences has emerged as a significant resource for energy and engineering firms.

The plan to foster an energy hub in the Charlotte region is kicking into high gear, with a number of organizations playing key roles in the initiative. Major energy players in Charlotte include AREVA, Babcock and Wilcox, Duke Energy, Electric Power Research Institute, Fluor, Metso Power, Piedmont Natural Gas, Siemens Energy, Shaw Group, Toshiba, URS Corp., and Westinghouse. Leaders representing businesses of every size, local and state government, educational institutions and civic organizations have put Charlotte on the energy map.
